Clock Synchronization: A Matter of Timing

Clear Street, a cloud-native financial technology firm on a mission to modernize the brokerage ecosystem, today announced a connectivity partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies, a capital markets fintech leader in global trading and data, to expand Clear Street’s market services for after-hours trading. Clear Street has expanded to 24-hour, 6-day trading capabilities further enhancing liquidity access and risk management for its global client base. The announcement is the latest in Clear Street’s roll out of new products and features, following the recent launch of OCC Cross-Margin, which allows futures and options traders to consolidate margin requirements and improve capital efficiency.

The launch of 24/6 trading is a direct response to our clients’ needs, and our ability to roll it out quickly showcases the strength of our technology platform. This new product illustrates our commitment to delivering innovative, client-first solutions that provide seamless, uninterrupted market access around the world.”

By connecting directly to the Blue Ocean ATS platform, Clear Street offers after-hours execution through a continuous FIX session — with minimal downtime throughout the week, allowing for around-the-clock trading access.

Clear Street’s institutional and active trading clients can now trade National Market System (NMS) securities including stocks, ETFs and ADRs overnight, with trading hours running from: 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM Eastern Time, Sunday through Thursday (ending early Friday morning at 4:00 AM ET).
